Last Saturday the Midlanders caused something of a stir across the division when they inflicted a rare defeat on reigning champions Saracens – and Lees knows the Chiefs can ill afford to suffer a similar fate as they look to maintain their position within the top three.

Rob Baxter’s side continued their impressive run of Premiership form last time out by sharing out a 35-35 draw with table topping Wasps, who failed...
